Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

Guitar Hero goes back to the 80s with Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s

User Rating: 8 | Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s PS2

By TonyKoeffler | Review Date: April 9, 2008

This next 80s version release in the GH series is once again exclusive to the PlayStation 2. It still features the costumes, characters, and improved HO/POs from the last game. However, this game only has 30 songs and no bonus songs. Still, it is kind of cool to take a flashback.

80s hits you will find in this game include:

"Bang Your Head (Metal Health)"- Quiet Riot
"I Ran (So Far Away)"- A Flock of Seaguls
"18 and Life"- Skid Row
"No One Like You"- Scorpions
"Shakin'"- Eddie Money
"Heat of the Moment"- Asia
"Turning Japanese"- Vapor
"Hold on Loosley"- .38 Special
"Synchronicity II"- The Police
and more!

Overall, GH Encore is a very great game. I give Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s for the PlayStation 2 an 8 out of 10.

  Rock the 80's doesn't really bring anything new to the Guitar Hero formula, but its amazing how its so uninspired.

  Rock The 80's continues the Guitar Hero formula and really doesn't change or add anything to it. If anything, Rock the 80's is missing so much things it almost questions what the developers were doing to the game during ... Read Full Review
